CARAVAN for CHRIST ! ....Wrap-Up and Pix

Shalom My Dear Family in Christ !

I don't think I can adequately Thank the many, many, convicted  CARAVAN for CHRIST and the  DECISION  2016 participants at the Augusta Prayer Rally ! 
As you know, we have partnered with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and their Maine State Representative, Pastor Ron Witham as the Southern Maine BGEA, MY HOPE initiative contact. 
As our dear Brother in Christ Franklin puts it,.... " We have a responsibility as the Church to be the Salt and light in this world. We are to speak the truth of God's word to a society whose spiritual and moral foundation is crumbling at an alarming rate. The only hope for our nation is for us to Pray, Seek His Face, and Stand Firm on the Word. "
As Franklin begins his last leg of the 50 State Tour, we would kindly ask that you continue to Pray
for this cause. That we, ( as God's Greater Church ) will Unite, Re-Unite, and INVITE lost sheep of the fold to a very deep relationship with Yeshua, Christ Jesus.
This is by no means a ' Soapbox, Social Justice Ministry ' by any stretch of the imagination. We simply Pray you may partake in both local and national elections, and discern choosing a candidate with strong Christian Morality and Biblical Respect.

CARAVAN  for CHRIST !

TOGETHER,WE BURNED BRIGHTER FOR CHRIST!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At our sponsoring Church, FIRST  CHRISTIAN  CHURCH of KITTERY POINT, we gathered

for Holy Spirit driven Prayer and an outstanding performance by the Seacoast's Favorite Tenor,

Nathan Cox. ( One wonders these days,how long we will be able to keep GOD at the center of our Anthem, or mentioned at all for that fact! ) But!,..What a compelling performance!

THANX  NATE !

AND,........ after a quick coffee and donuts, we joined hands once again,prayed, and were off!

Off to rendez-vous with partner Churches and individuals at 95N rest areas, whom were inspired to make a VISUAL STATEMENT for CHRIST !

God Bless America and Caravan Prayer

The Hebraic Shofar ( an instrument,ram's horn)  was Blown to call God's Caravan Children at Each Stop

TEAM  YESHUA!

Another Nice Surprise at the last Stop in W. Gardner
Many Blessings are sent to the Bus Driver Who Cordially transported our participants from off site parking to the State House

A few of the 3,400 Prayer Rally Participants

The Holy Spirit Alive and VERY Well !

God Bless The Children 

Wrapping up our Initiative at FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH of  KITTERY POINT

All in all, our CARAVAN for CHRIST was well accepted by many Southern Maine Churches.

Although 'tainted' by the WCSH NewsCast interview a bit (to be posted over the weekend) The Prayer Rally was indeed a HUGE SUCCESS!  Many Mainer's had NO choice but to see our

Visual Statement that Christianity is alive and ready to REVIVE !

And, we send plentiful blessings of The Joy of Jesus to the many individuals and Churches whom

either participated in the Caravan, and to those whom were in Prayer for the cause. If you are searching for a Strong Loving Bible-Based Church, feel free to visit any of the following Caravan/DECISION 2016 partner Churches. You won't go wrong with any of these fine Scripture Loving Churches.

BLESSINGS TO ALL OUR PARTNER CHURCHES !

" IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND "

Aside from the story of Soddom and Gomorrah, can you recall a time more appropriate than right now to Pray for His Intercession and Saving Grace?

GOD BE WITH YOU ALL !

A Message From Franklin Graham

	Dear Friend, Earlier this week and last week, thousands of people joined me live on Facebook to pray for America before the opening of the Republican and Democratic conventions. I thank God for this growing movement of prayer for our nation. You can follow me on Facebook and set your notifications to receive word about future Facebook Live broadcasts. We’re heading into our busiest month for Decision America Tour prayer rallies. During August, we will be praying in eight state capitals—Helena, Mont.; Boise, Idaho; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Augusta, Maine; Montpelier, Vt.; Albany, N.Y.; Boston, Mass.; and Providence, R.I. If you live in one of these states, I hope you will bring your friends, family members, and people from your church to join me and other Christians in prayer. If another state’s rally is closer or more convenient for you, feel free to join us there.  Unless something changes in America, our country is doomed. The presidential campaign over the last year has been bitter and divisive—for both parties—and over the last few weeks, violence has torn through the heart of many communities. Our nation needs the Lord Jesus Christ; we need revival. Do you believe in prayer? Do you believe that God answers prayer? I sure do, and I won’t stop calling Christians across America to lift up their voices, to humbly repent on behalf of our nation, and to ask God to heal our land. “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16, NKJV). Thank you for standing with us. May God bless you—and may God bless America again. Sincerely, Franklin Graham P.S. I hope you will share these remaining prayer rallies with your friends and loved ones: Feel Free to Call Step With Christ at 207-363-1775, First Christian Church of Kittery Point at 207-429-4021, or email Pastor Ron Witham with BGEA at rwitham@BGEA.org Our most merciful God appears to already be answering our Spirit driven Prayers. Please remain Praying steadfast with fervor and zeal, that He continues to heal our land and answer our heartfelt Prayers for His paramount Intercession ! " CHRIST  EVER-LIVES TO INTERCEDE ON OUR BEHALF " Extrapolated from Heb; 7 of NKJ , and alike most Christian Bibles. I'm ever convinced He honors His promises. I believe the same conviction lies in your hearts also ! Feel Free to visit Franklin's Tour Site, click here,.. DECISION AMERICA BLESSINGS  IN  HIS  HOLY  NAME ! b PS- Check back often between now, and the Rally/Caravan, to find Caravan Rendez-Vous spots NORTH on 95. Please join!, and make Mainer's Eyes actually SEE the Love of Christ and Our Holy Spirit's work in progress ! PROGRESS  FOR the KINGDOM PROCESS ! amen!

" A Visual Statement for Christianity and DECISION 2016 "

Nation Uniting ! , in 'PRAYER FOR REVIVAL' !!

Shalom My Friends,

I pray this post finds you in The Joy of Christ, Jesus ! , and enjoying a beautiful God-given Summer of  Christian Fellowship.
Friends, ... I've heard many a brother in Christ speak of ' coincidences ' within their Christian Journey's, as being contributory to their growing Faith. A few months back, a wonderful sister of Christ whom I was blessed to have attended a longstanding local Bible Study with, ( Hello Marilyn !,
......'she moved recently', ....Blessings! ) , but Marilyn had responded very kindly to a post that spoke of such. Well,.... Marilyn appropriately termed the above mentioned " coincidences ", as
" God Incidences ". Well said, Marilyn !
So, where am I going with this ?   I'm headed toward witnessing how our Father,..Adonai, has been
working in my life, and in my Church as of late. I believe strongly that sharing our testimonies and witnessing's are crucial to the Christ-Like edification of one another!

Please stay with me!  I think you will find it worth the read.

As I have mentioned on many occasions, Reverend, Dr. Wilbert D. Gough ( my 98 years young Mentor ), and the planter of an endless number of seeds to God's Kingdom Process, blesses us with the role of a Scriptural Adviser here at Step With Christ Ministries.

Well, on June 19th of this year, Pastor finally chose to retire as the Senior Pastor at First Christian Church of Kittery Point, Maine. He's finally decided to cut down, and work Part-Time ! ( Somewhere around 70 years of Pulpit work, and still sowing the seeds of God Almighty ! )  A man so very many people would tell you, is A TRUE VESSEL of YESHUA, JESUS ! . ( Pastor's Last Sermon was on 'Prayer' ! ) .....hang onto that!

So, I'm rambling right?  Well the very next week, I was honored, I was Blessed, to stand behind

my Mentor's Pulpit. We have a God of Grace, do we not?

I happened to know I would be in the pulpit of my mentor the week prior to Pastor G's sermon.

(  My Communion Sunday Sermon was on The Saving Grace of Intercessional 'Prayer' )
( The following week, Sr. Elder, Randy Lawson presented his sermon which was an outstanding sermon covering THE FAITH & 'PRAYER' of our Nation's Forefathers !

The very next Sunday Service, we were honored with the wisdom of nationally known Reverend Dr. Reginald Dunlap , whose sermon topic was,.......... You guessed it friends, .... PRAYER !
( NOTE; Dr. Dunlap will again lead service at FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH at Kittery Point
Sunday July 17th, 2016 ,.. feel free to join us! , 'We will likely ' PRAY ' 
ANYONE  SEE A DISTINCT PATTERN ?

A GOD- INCIDENCE ?

( Perhaps an AFFIRMATION of God ? )

There's More!, ...... As I believe you also know, we are currently working closely with the Billy Graham folks, and specifically Franklin Graham's DECISION AMERICA 2016 Tour 'PRAYER' Rally.

( CHECK BACK IN 48 HRS. FOR THE " CARAVAN FOR CHRIST " / RALLY  info )

( and an updated church participation list )

BUT !,....once again !,.... there it is,...... PRAYER !  As Marilyn would say , ...another 

GOD-INCIDENCE !          

DO  YOU EVER GET the FEELING HE'S TELLING U SOMETHING? 

PRAYER,  PRAYER,  PRAYER !  All we need to do is to turn the television on to DISCERN that

we desperately need to Pray with fervor, that YESHUA, JESUS petition the Father to intercede in this Gray world, as no One person, or Political Party can save us from the damage we have brought on ourselves. " Do you think that perhaps we have been born for such a time as this ? "

And finally, as I make this post, there is a HUGE, Christian Unification endeavor called 
RESET 2016 !  happening in DC !, ... and Shame on the mainstream media, and gov't leaders for not covering this  Large Display of Christian ( Unification )that is HAPPENING NOW !,  taking place with outstanding attendance at our Washington Monument, National Mall . Christian Leaders from all generations, ranging from TIM TEBOW, DR. RAVI  ZACHARIAS, FRANCIS CHAN, and many more, along with many Nationally recognized Christian Worship bands. Truly, Needed Fellowship in a Graying World. But no coverage ! , ...... WE NEED ! , to NOW! more than ever, stand up and be seen ! as CHRISTIANS.
Please visit the RESET 2016 initiative here.... RESET 2016, as you will not likely find it on this evening's news.
Please, Pray for the Intercession, Pray for REVIVAL in CHRIST, it's happening NOW ! , He Hears Us and is answering Prayers Now ! Be a Visual Christian, be the BEACON of LIGHT that is life in Yeshua Christ JESUS !

    PLEASE CONTEMPLATE THIS VIDEO, and PRAY !  blessings,b

DECISION AMERICA 2016,..Maine !

Greetings Brethren, 

What a day to Glorify God, and to Pray for the Intercession of Christ Jesus !
Please excuse my ' Technological Bankruptcy ', if my DECISION 2016  cut n' paste job does not arrive with all provided graphics.
This past week, was a week filled with blessings for our Billy Graham partnership initiative, and specifically our effort to enlist Southern Maine Christians to help us 
' Burn Brighter for Christ ! ' and magnify the need for 'Intercessional Prayer'

Last week began with a call from, and a follow-up coffee meeting with, representatives from the
NEW LIFE CHURCH .( Contact Joan W. at NEW LIFE CHURCH for Biddeford details ). New Life Church is a dynamic and Family and God Centered church located in Biddeford,Maine. Their story is impressive, to the Glory of God, and their God Centered impact to their family and community is likely correlated to their growing number of Christian Families.
They certainly seem to be leading the way to Christ in the greater Biddeford area. Our 'hats off'
to Pastor Jeff and his entire Congregation for their steadfast commitment to Christ ! 
Feel free to visit their site link just above for further details. Should you be from the Biddeford area,
feel free to call for more details of how you can join the PRAYER INITIATIVE, and possible to join our Pilgrimage Care-A-Van from First Christian Church of Kittery Point, to Franklin Graham's 
Prayer Rally on the steps of our Capitol building in Augusta. Aside from our request for Intercessional Prayer, We Pray to enlist any help available to join our Caravan for Christ !,.... This NEEDED
effort for a very VISUAL statement of our Faith is an attempt to ' BURN BRIGHTER for CHRIST!, That the light of the fire in our hearts will attract both our need, and any remaining Lost Sheep of God's world. 
Should you, Your Church, Your Prayer Group, or Bible Study Group like further details, please feel free to call us or any of the previously mentioned Churches.

Lets make a difference for Christ ! Let us visually and publicly make a Statement of Faith!

Please Join Us !
